Special emphasis was placed on multi-class extensions of Support Vector Machines (SVMs). Benthic macroinvertebrates are used in biomonitoring due to their properties to react to changes in water quality. The use of benthic macroinvertebrates in biomonitoring requires a large number of collected samples. Traditionally benthic macroinvertebrates are separated and identified manually one by one from samples collected by biologists. This, however, is a time-consuming and expensive approach. By the automation of the identification process time and money would be saved and more extensive biomonitoring would be possible. The aim of the thesis was to examine what classification method would be the most appro- priate for automated benthic macroinvertebrate classification.

  • DNA Barcoding Facilitates Associations and Diagnoses For
    Ruiter et al. BMC Ecology 2013, 13:5 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6785/13/5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access DNA barcoding facilitates associations and diagnoses for Trichoptera larvae of the Churchill (Manitoba, Canada) area David E Ruiter1, Elizabeth E Boyle2 and Xin Zhou3* Abstract Background: The North American Trichoptera larvae are poorly known at the species level, despite their importance in the understanding of freshwater fauna and critical use in biomonitoring. This study focused on morphological diagnoses for larvae occurring in the Churchill, Manitoba area, representing the largest larval association effort for the caddisflies at any given locality thus far. The current DNA barcode reference library of Trichoptera (available on the Barcode of Life Data Systems) was utilized to provide larval-adult associations. Results: The present study collected an additional 23 new species records for the Churchill area, increasing the total Trichoptera richness to 91 species. We were able to associate 62 larval taxa, comprising 68.1% of the Churchill area Trichoptera taxa. This endeavor to identify immature life stage for the caddisflies enabled the development of morphological diagnoses, production of photographs and an appropriate taxonomic key to facilitate larval species analyses in the area. Conclusions: The use of DNA for associations of unknown larvae with known adults proved rapid and successful. This method should accelerate the state-of-knowledge for North American Trichoptera larvae as well as other taxonomic lineages. The morphological analysis should be useful for determination of material from the Churchill area.

The checklist includes bibliographic research as well as results after reexamination of some specimens. For each species, we provide the taxonomic literature that examined Korean Trichoptera materials or mentioned significant taxonomic treatments regarding to Korean species. We also provide the records of unnamed species based on larval identification for further study. Based on taxonomic considerations, 20 species among the previously known nominal species in Korea are deleted or synonymized, and three species omitted from the previous lists, Hydropsyche athene Malicky and Chantaramongkol, 2000, H. simulata Mosely, 1942 and Helicopsyche coreana Mey, 1991 are newly added to the checklist. Hydropsyche formosana Ulmer, 1911 is recorded from the Korean Peninsula for the first time by the identification of Hydropsyche KD. In addition, we recognized 14 species of larvae separated with only tentative alphabetic designations. As a result, this new Korean Trichoptera checklist includes 218 currently recognized species in 66 genera and 25 families from the Korean Peninsula.

The region is notable as a contact zone for Siberian, Boreal, and Central Asian Trichoptera faunas. The study reveals numerous limits of distribution for species comprising more than half of the local fauna at very low level of local endemism. The fauna is poor and probably resulted from post-glacial colonization through some zoogeographic barriers.

AQUATIC INSECTS OF THE RIVERS OF THE WESTERN POLAR URALS (RUSSIA). – Latv. entomol., 41: 80-86. Abstract: The fauna of aquatic insects of European North-East was studied. Geographical position of the Ural on the border of the Europe and Asia causes a great interest in the study of entomofauna of this region. Larvae of insects were obtained from the benthos and adults were collected from entomological samples by the author in 1993-1995, 1999 and 2002. Three different groups of aquatic insects were determined: mayflies (27 species), stoneflies (22 species) and caddisflies (34 species). Widespread and European species dominated in the fauna, however some Siberian species also occurred. During the study period, dipterans (chironomids and blackflies) formed more than half of total numbers of bottom invertebrates. However, caddisflies and mayflies often dominated in the biomass. Key words: mayflies, stoneflies, caddisflies, Ural rivers, aquatic insects.
